Design- well maintained mid-century modern architecture at its finest. Furniture matches the era, simple/ less is more elegance. Amazing use of materials. Peacocks 🦚 run rampant on the grounds alongside chickens, geese, and a family of capybaras by the lake. Mangos 🥭, avocados 🥑 and limes 🍋‍🟩 fall from the trees on the property and are edible. Oscars restaurant and staff is good as well, but did venture next door to the hideous golden tulip for some steaks and snacks.

Sometime in the 80’s-2000’s an unfortunate planning commission approved the construction of two monstrosities on each side of the property, so instead of the lake views, you see 1980’s era horrible designs.

Good hotel on the edge of the lake outside of Brasilia. Taxis are required to get anywhere as there is nothing near the hotel, but you can’t really walk anywhere in Brasilia as it’s a car city. The architecture is amazing and the pool is great if the sun is out and it’s not raining. Service was good and breakfast was varied and tasty.

There were 3 large yellow generators on the lawn near the pool. They were incredibly noisy and were on 24 hrs a day. They are for the hotel next door, not even this hotel! I complained to reception and was moved rooms further away from them and they are clearly heard in the room. This is unacceptable. The hotel owner also has a financial interest in the hotel next door which is why they are on this property (reception informed me) The noise of these generators ruined the serene gardens and sitting around the pool. For this reason I would never stay here again. Visit the architecture of the hotel by having a drink in the restaurant, don’t stay here at present.

Staying in an original building designed by Oscar Niemeyer with a view of the lake, lived up to our high expectations, and being neighbours with the Alvorado Palace and the Museum of Fine Art added to our excitement. Having capibara, peacocks and burrowing owls in the grounds was an added bonus. Wide range of food at breakfast - including our first soya milk after a month in Brazil, and great dinners. Staff went out of their way to be helpful. Bus from outside the hotel goes into the centre of town past all major buildings of interest.

A wonderful and quiet place by the north lake. We really enjoyed our stay in this outstanding masterpiece of modernist architecture in Brasilia. Rooms are spacious and very clean, all facilities are excellent, staff very friendly and helping. You can walk around the park and enjoy art pieces and the animals around. Breakfast is absolutely amazing! Overall, it looks like a jump in a very luxurious yet accessible past. I would definitely recommend it.

The building from an architectural point of view. The room, spacious and quiet. The hotel is far away from the city forcing clients to hire taxis or rent cars.

The restaurant. The service was very unworthy of the level of the hotel. Not a single waiter spoke English. The wait to get your order was sometimes way too long, wine on the menu but not in stock .... , the menu pretty limited. The breakfast was good.

Beautiful design history and grounds. Excellent staff. Wonderful breakfast - delicious and many options. The art is great and I loved the sparse and clean feeling of the entire hotel.

The Oscar restaurant for breakfast was fantastic. But the evening dinner was not as good as advertised. Too much salt and not enough vegetable options. I really wish the pool had been open or we had pool privileges at the Tulip.

Everything! The hotel is beautiful, and its architecture reflects Brasília’s design vision. It offers the experience of staying in a building designed by Oscar Niemeyer and inspired by the Plano Piloto, surrounded by nature, wildlife, and the lake, all while enjoying the comfort of a top-tier hotel. It is my favorite hotel in the city. Additionally, it is the BEST breakfast and the pool is amazing.

Nothing.

The architecture is just incredible. To stay in such a stunningly renovated Niemeyer building is really special. The service is very sweet and kind. The swimming pool is huge and pool service great.

They should install more sockets in the bedrooms. It was really hard to charge our devices. The Wi-Fi was a bit hit and miss. Finally, the food in the restaurant is great for simple stuff (sandwiches, chips), but I had some Italian dishes that were not very authentic and used a lot of salty cheese.

Unique place. Great architecture and history. Must-see for architecture enthusiasts. Super chill. We loved the place, but service could be better.

- No Iron board in the rooms. Sometimes they borrow, sometimes they don’t. - They spent 3 of our days there cutting grass, making a lot of noise on the swimming pool. - Breakfast could have more variation. It’s good, but not exceptional - Wifi is just okay

It’s a must for architecture fans, designed by Oscar Niemeyer. Very good breakfast. Location next to the lake, so picturesque but away from the city.

The night staff at the reception didn’t speak English so it was difficult at check in. A bit odd in that sort of a hotel. I checked in online to avoid the hustle of checking in onsite and they made me check in again… Some facilities, corridors etc. are a bit worn out and could use a revamp.
